AI Systems by Domain

AI has been advancing rapidly in the last 3 years. This week, I found this dataset on Our World in data about the cumulative number of AI systems by different domains. It clearly shows the recent rapid growth, as well as which fields have seen the most new AI systems.

My Visualization

This visualization is a simple line chart by time series – only the top 4 domains are highlighted with colors to avoid distracting attention with too many colors. But you can always hover over the lower lines to see the tooltip.

Please note that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.
